Bill Mitchell: "One idea to prevent vote fraud would be to inject federally traceable "Key" ballots into every state election.
After an election, the feds could trace these "Key" ballots. If a statistical sample of the results do not match up with actual results, it triggers DOJ investigation."

Another way is to prosecute every offense with no exceptions.
At first blush I like that idea.
It's traceable and verifiable.
The almost perfect solution is a national voter ID. And we all know how far that got.
These are all better than what we have; problem is Republicans - or better said, constitutionalists, need to have the majority to pass such an item. Otherwise, smart commentators just make great comments that go no where.
THIS IS IS ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH YESTERDAY.
I never posted anything because I never finish fleshing out my ideas.
But I was looking at credit card transaction technology and I was wondering why this can’t be used to secure voting.
Everyone should get a unique serialized vote authorization. This will be included with their voter ballot submission, which will be encrypted for transmission, and like credit card technology should never be stored. Online transactions use payment gateways.
The difference is that every credit card has it’s own unique number (and now chips) to identify them which associates them with accounts. People should not be accounts, but each person should get a single use chip or token to vote with. The token permits the vote transmission, but the ballot is encrypted. With unique tokens stored, there cannot be two ballots transmitted by the same voter token.
Every ballot should be serialized. No names, no info, just serial numbers, like dollar bills.
Every ballot accounted for, spoiled, provisional, absentee or legitimate day of elections ballots.
Any duplicates, or serial numbers not registered or non serialized are automatically thrown out, regardless of where they came from.
This ain’t rocket science...............
ALSO, all serial numbers that go to specific precincts are recorded when they leave the Registrar’s office.
That way you know where they went and who had them last..............
Well they better do something or Trump is toast in 20. It’s obvious the Rats have gone full warfare now. They stole 15-30 elections this time minimum.
I had to go and pay a particular bill six months ago. Big building...one single machine at the front-door, and it requires a chip-card. So you go to this office....they add up the bill, and put some data on a chip-card. Your job is to go back to the entrance and put the chip-card in...then pay (credit card, cash, etc).
I don’t see why you couldn’t issue out the chip-card idea to people (making them show up at a post office or country court-house) and sign for it. If you want to vote....you get the chip-card and you have a chance to vote (one single time).
When there are more ballots than voters this should be evidence triggering a full investigation. When Zero republican votes are in 59 precincts in PA. an investigation should take charge. When a person has only been a republican for 2 months is an official like Boulder county Colorado things should be further looked at.
Mandate SERIAL NUMBERS on Ballots ...
I also like the idea that a county could have it’s votes thrown out because of the incompetence of it’s election supervisor and failure to comply with the law.
Only problem with that, is it could backfire. A dishonest supervisor could pretend to be incompetent to get a red county thrown out.
So maybe throw out the county if the county doesn’t elect someone else after the first incompetence.
Great idea, z3n!
.you get the chip-card and you have a chance to vote (one single time).
~~~
Yes. That’s how my thinking was.
One chip = one vote.
Even if you dupe the chip itself, it would mean that two ballots were submitted by the same unique chip serialization, and would nullify both votes until they are reviewed buy the local board of elections or the state secretaries office or whatever, and then the real voter given a chance to resubmit a new ballot with a new issued chip.
The chip is only a single vote authorization, and it does not transmit the voter’s identity, it just permits the encrypted transmission of the ballot that submitted with the chip’s authorization.
The voting terminals could be secured at polling places for even more security. I’m not suggesting that people vote using the chips from anywhere.
I was thinking about this after reading on how the government caught leaker Reality Winner by reading a unique code in the printer paper she used.
Seemed like potentially useful technology for ballots- couple it with GPS locating devices built into ballot boxes and such it could make things more difficult to circumvent.
How about lie detector tests for all workers.
The more complicated we make it, the more fraud we will get.
Death penalty for anyone committing election fraud is my first suggestion.
Also, the easier we make it, the worse elections will get. Canvassers went door-to-door this election filling out all the forms needed plus mail-in ballots with signatures for people, many who don’t even know an election is coming up and wouldn’t vote. Then the canvassers submit the forms and mail the votes. 1000s of those people who did know there was an election showed up to vote and found out they had already voted. No “fraud”, but when canvassers can vote for people who aren’t even aware that’s what is going on we are in trouble.
I’d bet Rs (Trump) need to mail in 10 million+ absentee/mail-in ballots in 2020 to have any chance of winning. And that’s without a single legally fraudulent D vote. R senators, congressmen, and governors will also need to be canvassing this way everywhere to win. Which basically means our entire election process is a joke and it’s whoever has the most persuasive canvassers to mail in ballots first from a lot of people who don’t even know they are voting.
There are hundreds of ways to make the election system more secure.
But once the RATS are seated, good luck changing anything.
Let’s hope Trump learned his lesson about having the courts support voter fraud. Which is IGNORE THE RULINGS!!
